Pueblo de San Ildefonso Wastewater System Improvement Project Phase 3
Phase 3 of the proposed improvements to the Pueblo de San Ildefonso wastewater treatment systems includes installation of an Orenco Advantex® recirculating packed-bed fixed film treatment system within an approximately 0.85-acre area adjacent to an existing 1.6-acre two-celled wastewater treatment lagoon. The wastewater treatment lagoon will be modified to provide an infiltration and evaporation site for treated wastewater effluent. The extent of ground disturbance will be limited to previously disturbed areas and roadways.
An existing pad in Eddy County, New Mexico. There was a spill in Q4 2024 that is being mitigated. The extent of the spill was contained within the boundaries of the pad footprint.
NRC license renewal for an ISR uranium recovery facility. No plans for constructions. Surface disturbance will include wells and facilities. Mitigation measures will be consistent with state and federal requirements.
NRC license renewal for a in-situ uranium facility. No plans for construction at this time.
Ground disturbance will be limited to wells and a satellite facility.
Wildlife surveys and mitigation will adhere to state and federal requirements.
24,000 sq. ft of the compromised roofing system is to be replaced, remove existing roof down to the deck, remove and replace existing gutters, and remove and replace damaged roofing system.
Minimal Impact New Mine Permit Application, Fire Rock Mine
The New Mexico Mining and Minerals Division received a permit application from New Mexico Humate, LLC for a minimal impact mining permit in San Juan County, New Mexico. The potential mining site is located in Township 21N, Range 8W, Section 34. Agency comments are due by 1/9/2025.
ASG-SLO-3: The Wings for Life Community Solar Project
The proposed project, a solar development in Las Cruces, Dona Ana County, New Mexico, consists of approximately 78.2 acres on State Trust Lands. The proposed project is a 5-megawatt AC ground-mounted solar energy system. It aims to harness solar energy through photovoltaic (PV) technology and convert it into usable electrical power. This project will be spread across most of the site area. It is designed to supply clean, renewable energy to the grid, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and decrease reliance on fossil fuels. The proposed project will be a Community Solar project. This project makes solar power accessible to those who may not have the means or physical space to install their own solar systems, such as renters, low-income households, and nonprofits. It will produce enough power to serve approximately 2,000 homes annually.

Review of La Plata and McKinley Mine Permit Renewals
Westmoreland San Juan Mining, LLC, has made application to the New Mexico Mining and Minerals Division (MMD) to renew the La Plata Mine permit and Chevron Mining Inc. has made application to renew the McKinley Mine permit, both for a five-year term pursuant to the requirements of 19.8.13.1302-1305 NMAC. Both of these mines are in the complete reclamation phase where we are waiting on the ten year vegetation growth to occur. Some minor repair work is being done as required per inspection reports. No changes to the permit boundaries or operation and reclamation plans are proposed in these renewals.
This fiber route will be installed underground via directional boring within the roadside rights-of-way of ES Road 117 and Laguna Place. Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be implemented during construction. Bore pits will be placed no closer than 50 feet from wetland features and boreholes should be at least 5 feet below the wetland bed. All bore pits should be returned to grade and revegetated as soon as possible after construction. No tree trimming/clearing is proposed as part of this installation. Where possible, personnel and equipment should utilize existing developed areas (i.e. paved roadways, sidewalks, etc.).
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 5-yr Review 38 Species
Request for new data on 38 federally-listed species by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to inform their 5-year species reviews. Includes fish, aquatic invertebrates, mammals, and yellow-billed cuckoo.

Proposed Listing of the Monarch Butterfly and Designation of Critical Habitat
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), proposes to list the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), the iconic orange and black butterfly, as a threatened species and designate critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). We propose to list the monarch butterfly as a threatened species with protective regulations under section 4(d) of the Act (a "4(d) rule"). Finalizing this rule as proposed would add this species to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and extend the Act's protections to the species. The Service also proposes to designate critical habitat for the monarch butterfly under the Act. In total, approximately 4,395 acres (1,778 hectares) in Alameda, Marin, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, and Ventura Counties, California, fall within the boundaries of the proposed 2 critical habitat designation. The Service also announces the availability of an economic analysis of the proposed designation of critical habitat for the monarch butterfly. The Service is also notifying the public that we have scheduled two informational meetings followed by public hearings on the proposed rule.
Biological Survey, Proposed Critical Habitat, Proposed Rulemaking, Threatened or Endangered Species
Phase A/B study for NMDOT to evaluate alternatives for the I-40 Horizon interchange. This project is online research only, no field efforts are to be performed with this phase.
The project is building a storage unit building. This will involve grading and construction of storage units. The project may take anywhere from 6 months to a year of construction. There will be the complete removal of vegetation, pavement placed, and the sue of large construction equipment and vehicles. It will be concrete and asphalt paved. They have not put any wildlife surveys yet and are just doing and initial environmental site assessment. Taking vacant land and developing it. Potential removal of habitats
